Mermaid pen and ink illustration for SCBWI

Pen and ink illustration on Borden and Riley Paris Bleedproof Paper for Pens.

This is one of my favorite mediums to work. I have found that the Broden and Riley paper is the best to work with, though I do use hot press if I intend to watercolor the picture.

This is another sample for my art group of an illustration that I am going to submit to the SCBWI bulletin. I like the detail and I think mermaids are a pretty hot commodity, since everyone is getting tired of vampires.
